Agentless Management And Ams - HPE ProLiant e910 User And Maintenance Manual

iLO RESTful API
A management interface that server management tools can use to perform configuration, inventory, and monitoring of a
supported server through iLO. For more information, see the following website: http://www.hpe.com/info/redfish.
HPE Scripting Toolkit
This toolkit is a server deployment product for IT experts that provides unattended automated installation for high-
volume server deployments. For more information, see the Scripting Toolkit user guide for Windows or Linux.
Scripting
You can use scripting to set up multiple iLO management processors. Scripts are XML files written for a scripting language
called RIBCL. You can use RIBCL scripts to configure iLO on the network during initial deployment or from a deployed
host.
The following methods are available:
HPQLOCFG—A Windows command-line utility that sends RIBCL scripts over the network to iLO.
•
HPONCFG—A local online scripted setup utility that runs on the host and passes RIBCL scripts to the local iLO.
•
When iLO is configured to use the CNSA security state, only HPONCFG for Linux is supported.
• Custom scripting environments (LOCFG.PL)—The iLO scripting samples include a Perl sample that can be used to
send RIBCL scripts to iLO over the network.
• SMASH CLP—A command-line protocol that can be used when a command line is accessible through SSH or the
physical serial port.
For more information about these methods, see the iLO scripting and command-line guide.
iLO sample scripts are available at the following website: http://www.hpe.com/support/ilo5.

Agentless Management and AMS

Agentless Management uses out-of-band communication for increased security and stability. With Agentless Management,
health monitoring and alerting is built into the system and begins working the moment auxiliary power is connected to the
blade. This feature runs on the iLO hardware, independent of the operating system and processor.
• AMS writes operating system configuration information and critical events to the Active Health System Log.
• Install the iLO drivers before installing AMS.
• With iLO, AMS includes the optional System Management Assistant. If you want to use an OS-based SNMP service to
handle information provided by iLO Agentless Management and AMS, you can use the System Management Assistant. See
the latest HPE iLO 5 User Guide available in the Enterprise Information Library for more information about System
Management Assistant installation: http://www.hpe.com/info/EIL
To collect information from devices and components that cannot communicate directly with iLO, install the Agentless
•
Management Service (AMS) driver.
NOTE: If you are installing the drivers in a secure boot environment, see Secure Boot for Linux on HPE Servers for a
complete set of instructions.
Information made available when the AMS driver is installed
After installing the AMS driver, the following information is available to Agentless Management and the iLO interface of the
blade:
